What’s going on jeromes so I feel like I aged like 10 years in in that first half and frankly it was one of the more emotionally taxing and draining first halves of football I’ve had maybe ever I mean I mean the Vikings going in this Jame game no Jefferson no cousins
Apparently no daras saww and they’re still fighting and jiren Hall looking really damn good that first drive man and then him getting concussed right at the goal line now hopefully he’s good to go and also frankly he does deserve to be the starter again uh even though dobs
Is looking really damn good uh that that last Drive uh but jiren Hall I mean he sh showed Poise he showed maturity he showed great accuracy he showed that he took what the defense gave him and showed that he was not too the moment wasn’t too big for him and he did really
Well five for six for 78 11 18.8 quarterback R Two Carries for 11 yards would have liked one more yard on the carry cuz also I I had jiren Hall first touchdown score plus 2200 no big deal but again once he’s good to go I think
He should be the starter again like the the only throw that he missed was that one little dink to Hockinson In The End Zone would like to add like we’re ready to go we are absolutely ready to go with jiren Hall even though we love Kirko and
And all that stuff but he was the guy and then Josh dobs came in had a fumble did not look good but then LED that touchdown drive at the end and just like oh baby oh baby baby it’s a wild world no no no no but you a couple scary moments too
Like I mean Jeff Auda is playing dirty as hell like I actually don’t blame him for the jiren hall hit I mean that that’s just football but literally just head hunting KJ on that third down shot in excusable no place for that in the game I don’t know how he wasn’t ejected
And frankly I think that was a suspendable offense like it’s not the KJ dipped or anything like Auda hit him straight in the head it’s ridiculous man like he’s going to get fined hopefully it’s a substantial one uh but either way I mean this has been one of the dumbest
Halves of football like I I can remember like the Vikings can’t run the ball the Vikings lost jiren Hall who looked good for a hot second uh Josh dobs came in immediately fumbled uh the Vikings got a freaking safety uh no sorry the Falcons got a safety the Vikings gave one up but
The Vikings are still in this game and frankly the defense the defense is looking really damn good uh uh Flores and Company uh the guys are playing re revved up ready to go and Hicks is on one denal Hunter certainly on one Josh matelis is playing great even though he
Also took took a dirty hit I mean the Falcons are playing really gross just really kind of gross today uh but but over oh by by Murphy J’s like this close to interception this close to a sack and is like he had he’s like this close to
Being a hero it’s rough man but I mean Josh dobs yeah you got respect for dobs has been put in a really tough spot like he’s out there as uh the quarterback one for a team that he’s been on for five days as he’s trying to learn the offense
And also they don’t have a running game but the defense uh the defense of Taylor hinek are keeping the Vikings in this game I forgot how bad Taylor like hinek was good for the Vikings as a backup in preseason I do not remember him being this terrible he’s just straight up bad
Uh but other than that it’s like I don’t even know what to make of this game like Madison had a great catch Addison had a huge catch too uh I mean KJ was being a hero man and overall like they can’t run the ball darasa being out is a major
Part of that uh the Falcons are simply owning the line of scrimmage and so I I one of the first thing that Josh jobs is going to learn is a two-minute drill just um it’s going to be a fist full of plays probably about 12 to 14 and just
On the ball on the ball on the ball maybe the Vikings should just go with that because just letting him operate like that not letting the Falcon substitute either putting them on their heels frankly worrying about this defense because the running game ain’t doing it and
Dobs even though he’s a super smart dude uh rocket scientists mentioned twice drink uh it’s a big ask it’s a big ask for him to have like a a grip on the full Playbook he doesn’t nearly have that man but uh if you got a couple questions or
Comments uh toss them in the Super Chat couple bucks we’ll read them off uh but I mean overall given the circumstances you got to be happy with how the first half ended up the defense is balling out uh the receivers are doing what they can the running game
Can’t get going without darasa jiren Hall looked fantastic on that second drive and then got concussed dos looked terrible his first two drives uh with the with the safety and and the fumble uh but I mean that that last Drive was just Nails man and the Vikings sorely
Needed that also I respect Kevin okell because the Vikings were down 11 to3 before they scored the touchdown a lot of coaches would have chased the points here but it’s not the time to do it and Zimmer would do that all the time it would it would uh it would sort of bug
Me because if you don’t get it you’re chasing points the rest of the game you’re almost trying to Martingale it which doesn’t make sense because I mean yeah I mean yes you do that if it’s in the second half you know late in the third quarter or fourth quarter uh but I
Mean you do it if you don’t plan on scoring again and the Vikings should be able to to continue to move the ball uh the MBR I honestly wouldn’t mind putting nille out there and throwing hands at Auda I I would take that I mean nil’s a
Big dude he’s got the reach he can go or Hell let’s just take denil I mean Auda uh hey I I understand you’re frustrated being the number number three overall pick and being an absolute bust man but don’t take it out on on uh KJ’s face it’s ridiculous I hate it I absolutely
Hate everything about it but although did we talk about this the the Embrace of of JJ and KJ honestly as a grown ass man May me dust up a little bit just just a little where it it’s so awesome to see how close these guys are and it
Really is a fraternity it really is a Brotherhood and it really is all of yeah actually got a little Dusty in here uh for a second but I don’t know like this is a game that the Vikings shouldn’t could win and the Falcons are literally just trying to give this game
Away Arthur Smith is garbage as a head coach Taylor haniki is ass thank you uh and frankly the I mean the Falcons defense is good but the Vikings can operate and dos’ Mobility is huge as well uh he had that 11 yard run where he basically ran for like 70
Yards uh I think the Vikings I think the Vikings are going to take it to him I think the Vikings are going to get their is together second half I think defense is still going to be Stout I think that you need a takeaway or two of hinei I
Mean you’re going to get it and just need a big play whether defense or special teams maybe even a defensive or special team score uh and then go from there Zack Carter five bucks with everything bad happening only being down by one shows how good this team is yes
ABS absolutely where you would think that hey the Vikings don’t have kurk cousins the Vikings don’t have their qb2 the vik oh hell the Vikings don’t even qb1 two or three and no Justin and they’re still in this fight man cuz that’s how good the defense is uh tiaz
Two bucks time to bench Madison he never hits the Gap it’s kind of fair I mean ACR is looking a lot better out there uh V Wang uh or sorry W Vang should had traded a starting run back to help hul I mean if the price would have been
Right yes but who I mean third round pick for Derrick Henry uh oh Larry Dean in the chat is that is that former Vikings linebacker Larry Dean that would be awesome I don’t think it is a Vasa State let’s go number 51 in the program number one in your
Hearts but uh that’s it um such a weird ass game uh but jiren Hall looked good Josh dobs is starting to look good and the Vikings will continue to fight and Claw and they’ll get back in this man that’s right uh but we’ll see after the game for postgame show as well as
Winners and losers
